The image showcases the breathtaking grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, a geographical feature that has long captured the imagination of artists and explorers alike. At the forefront of the composition, a group of horses and their riders, likely Native American tribespeople, are depicted making their way through the rugged terrain. A teepee and several tents are set up near a serene lake, suggesting a temporary encampment. In the background, the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains dominate the landscape, their snow-capped summits piercing the clear blue sky.

Originally exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., this print is a must-have for any collection of American art or history. Whether displayed in a gallery or private home, "The Rocky Mountains" by James Smillie is sure to inspire awe and wonder in all who behold it.
